I purchased a brush cutter a few month's back and, because of all the other problems that I have experienced with my other two-strokes, I have used nothing but no-ethanol fuel in this new piece of equipment. I have also switched my zero-turn mower over to no-ethanol fuel too. Go and talk to some of the small engine repair folks and see what their take is on the this ethanol-enhanced fuel. My younger brother works at a JD dealership and whenever a weedeater is brought in for repair, the first thing they do is replace the carburetor which fixes 95% of the issues (this action was NOT required prior to the introduction of ethanol blended fuel).

How could I forget to add this? I just bought a new generator this past weekend for a camping expedition and would not even consider firing it up for the first time UNLESS it had no ethanol fuel.
